Manager Coffman has secured a
first class attraction for the Opera
House tonight in the play "Leah
Kleschua," a drama which was
acted by Mrs. Fiske in New York
for five months. People have been
criticising the management of the
Opera House because poor shows
come here. Now that there is to
be something good show your ap
preciation by going to it. Good
shows cannot be brought here un
less they are patronized.
One of the serious mistakes in
the Primary election law and it
has a number of others is the pro
vision which delays the official
count for three days after the clos
ing of the polls. This delay is cal
culated to cause suspicion that the
returns may have been tampered
with, especially in case of a close
run between candidates for nomi
nation. The returns should be re
quired to be on file in the Commis
sioners' office not later than the
Monday following the Saturday on
which the primary is held and that
the count should be proceeded with
as soon as the returns shall have
been filed. Ex.
The reports of government and
state chemists upon the analysis of
certain breakfast and some of the
widely used health foods are not
conducive to appetites for these
things. While not containing es
pecially injurious elements or in
gredients, they are far from being
wholesome and nutritious. The
eld plain foods usually found on
the tables of fanners are the most
nutritious and wholesome. Meats,
potatoes, rye bread, rice and buck
wheat cakes, together with an
abundance of fruits, fresh, preserv
ed or dried, and various kinds of
vegetables are such stuff as good
healthy minds and bodies are made
of.
We take great care to keep out
of the couutry undesirable persons
who have no means of self-support
or who nave criminal records, or
who have bodily ailments likely to
contribute to the spread of disease;
but there are many mischievous
aliens who get into the country and
who ultimately find their way into
our jails as a result of minor offens
es who are sources of continuous
trouble. They sometimes are the
advance agents of new methods of
depredation learned in foreign
schools of crime to which we are
strangers. This class of criminals,
once jailed and released, should
not be allowed to keep up an inter
mittent living inside and outside
our iails. A second appearance In
the Courts and a second conviction
should be punished by deportation.

Washington ville Wants Trolley.
Rosidents Will Try to Arouse Interest In Lino.
The Danville Afrnig Atyvt tmy:
For some time the people of the
northern end of Montour county,
and the residents of Wushington
ville and vicinity in particular.
have been desirous of being con
nected to the county seat by trolley,
and now that the talk of a line be
tween Danville and Milton is being
agitated, a determined effort will
be made to have the new road
built by way of Washingtonville.
lo this end a number of the
prominent citizens of that section
of the county have teen out among
the farmers and others whose land
would lie along the right of way
and it has been found that the sen
timent is unanimously in favor of
the proposition. So eager are the
people for a trolley that those who
are in a position to know state that
between Danville and Washington
ville there is not one land owner 011
whose property the trolley would
abut, who woti'.d object to giving
free passage to the line.
A few days ago several of t:e
more enthusiastic spirits met at
Washingtonviile and discussed the
project. Present were Harry Bill
nieyer, of Derry Township; George
Oliver Wagner, of Limestone town
ship; vj. W. betdel and Dan rrazier
of Washingtonville. It was the
sense of these men that the matter
should be properly exploited and
then a mass meeting should be
called at which all interested, am
especially those residing along the
line, be present.
In this way something definite
could be done, and th results of
the meeting could be placed in the
hands of a committee, wh'se busi
ness it would be to interest the
proper parties in the scheme.
00 sanguine are the people in
that section that the line wou'd be
a great success that it is believed
that many of the bonds for the new
road could be sold among the resi
dents along the line.

"Leah Kleschna."
The most drastic scene in "Leah
Kleschna," Mrs. Fiske's famous
success, which will be acted at the
Grand Opera House on Feb. 13
by Marburg, Jacques & Smith's
special company is the burglary in
the second act. For the few who
are not already familiar with this
thrilling play of C. M. S. McLel
lan's, it may be said that Leah is a
girl who has been trained to thiev
ery by her father, a criminal of
extraordinary ability, who believes
crime as legitimate a business as
any other. Reared in this atmos
phere, Leah's moral sense had been
dormant. The awakening comes
in the scene referred to, when in
the midst of a dangerous and care
fully planned robbery, she is con
fronted by a man who, unknown
to himself, has exerted an iufluence
for good over her. He is the de
puty, Paul Sylvaine, prominent in
trance and distinguished for his
advocacy of moral suasion instead
of punishment for criminals. Syl
vaine is to be married on the mor
row and his family jewels, a pre
sent for his bride, Claire Berton,
are in the safe in his library.
Kleschna has learned this through
Raoul Berton, Claire's brother, an
absinthe wrecked young rounder,
who seeks to lure Leah into his
clutches. Kleschna plans the rob
bery, which Leah, his cleverest as
sistant, is to execute. She enters
Sylvaine's library by a window.
The stage is entirely dark, Sylvaine
having just put out the lights aud
left the room fox the night. Only
the flash of, Leah's dark lantern
pierces the blackness. It lights
the door of the safe and two hands
that force the lock. The jewel
case is removed, the thief puts it
in a bag. Suddenly there is a sound,
a revolver clicks, and the voice of
Sylvaine commands her to stand
still. A turn of the switch 'and
Sylvaiue sees before him a frail girl
whose nerve has not deserted her.
Her revolver looks into his, but she
is looking at him and sees her hero, a
man who had saved her life two
years before. Since then she has
looked up to him as all that was
good and noble. And now she is
robbing him. It is the turn of the
tide for Leah, and Sylvaine's kind
ness and love lead her to the light.
He does not arrest, upbraid her or
even grow sentimental. He simply
understands her as no one else has,
and sympathetically rouses the oth
er and better woman in her. From
that moment Leah is no longer a
thief. What follows in the play
forms the most novel and dramatic
story that any modern playwright
has 'written. To tell it in detail is
to spoil the enjoyment of the audi
tor. Suffice it to say that in the
end Leah finds happiness and love.
Cuban Student Drowns.
Many .Skaters from Collegeville See Him
Sink.
With his schoolmates! almost
within arm's reach, Rafael Sabori-
do, ol Havana, Cuba, a student at
Ursintis Academy, Collegeville, Pa.
was drowned while skating on the
Peikiomen, at that place last Wed
nesday afternoon.
Almost all the students of Ursi
ntis College and Academy were
skating on the creek, but most of
the skaters were farther up, as the
ice where the unfortunate student
met his death was consideted
uiiBafe.
Hardly a rsinute before he broke
through Saborido had been warned
of his danger by one of his school
mates. He skated on, however,
into a large airhole.
Several students who were not
far away came to his rescue, but
the ice was so thin that they were
unable to save him. Boats were
then brought, and after grappling
half an hour the body was brought
to the surface, about three yards
from where he went down.
Saborido was working his way
through the academy and expected
to visit his mother in Cuba, whom
he had not seen for three years,
uext summer.
He was formerly a student at the
Bloomsburg Normal School.
Nonsensical Pure Food Rulings.
(From Leslie's Weekly.)
We have referrad. heretofore, to
the absurdity of the ruling of Dr
Wiley that ice cream, properly so
called, must have a fixed amount
of cream in its composition, or it
must be "ruled out" as ice cream.
Yet the cook-book of the Navy
Department, issued under the gov
ernment's seal and approval, con
tains recipes for the manufacture
of ice cream from milk and eggs,
as it is most commonly made in the
household. We have alluded also
to the disgusting statements made
by Dr. Wiley concerning the man
ufacture of gelatine manufacturers
of the United States; to his ridicu
lous attempt to prevent tne use ol
the name "corn syrup" for a pro
duct manufactured from corn aud
cane sugar and which he cannot
deny is pure and wholesome. Now
come the fruit driers of California
with a bitter protest against the
rulings of Dr. Wiley s board as
to the quantity of sulphur whieh
may be used in drying fruit. They
contend that the maximum allow
ed by Wiley is only one-third of
that allowed in Germany, which
has the strictest food regulations in
the world. The fruit crop of Cali
fornia is so large that to dry it by
the natural process, as Dr. Wiley
insists should be done, would be
almost impossible.
The obstinacy with which Wiley
has maintained his right to make
"rulings" that are resented as un
necessary and oppressive and have
nothing to do with the purity and
wbolesomeness of foods and drinks,
has called down upon the adminis
tration the criticism of some of our
largest manufacturing industries.
Boiling Silver.
How To Keep it in a High State ol Polish.
One of the best known methods
of making silver that is in constant
use look like new again and of re
moving every truce of dullness for
some time to come, says the New
Yoak Tribune, is to put the various
articles in a large tin wash boiler,
after a thorough polish with harts
horn and whiting or silicon, and to
cover them with water into which
a handful of washing soda has
been thrown, and allow the water
to boil for two or three hours.
On removal a good rubbing with
soft chamois is productive of a very
high polish. In the case of hand'
some hand-made pieces with re
pousse or embossed designs in high
relief this is actually the only way
of getting the deposits of cleaning
powders out ol the crevices, and
for several weeks rubbing is all
that is necessary to bring them up
to the proper brilliancy.
Uuce a month, or once in six
weeks, is the time limit for these
silver boilings, for otherwise the
maids grow to depend upon their
emciency aud neglect the weekly
cleaning.
